Words + Cloud

From the dusty recesses of my memory, I managed to scrape away some cobwebs and pull a pretty cool website. I think word clouds are pretty cool and on this website you can pretty much enter any information, pick a shape, adjust your font/colors, and boom - cloud.

For my personal enjoyment, I selected my blog to be made into a wondrous cloud of superfluous lexicon. Then I picked a shape... a cloud. And here it was.


Now, I know you are thinking... holy cow, this is awesome. Where can I get such an incredible picture displaying any word I can imagine??

Well, I won't hold out on you....

So go forth and create word clouds with my blessing. In fact, if you make one, show me!! :)

    I've done these before using a website called Wordle. I turned the essays about our girl's names into a cool graphic. I'll have to try your site out too!

    That and the resolution is too low to do anything with! I've always wanted to turn the Wordle's into prints for the girl's rooms but i couldn't with them. I think I'll be able to with the site you shared.

    I know! I'm glad to help with your prints! I was excited when I saw you could save it in several different resolutions. Can't wait to print something of myself! :)
